HONDURAS: HILLARY AND ZELAYA TO MEET

In the now infamous conference call with Peter Paul and Stan Lee back in 2000, Hillary Clinton jokingly said, "Onward with the Mutant Vote". Since Manuel Zelaya was ousted on June 28th, we've learned that he was going to administer a mutant vote in the form of a referendum that would allow him to be re-elected, despite that scenario being 100% against the Honduran Constitution.

Now Hillary and Zelaya are going to be meeting with each other according to the AFP:

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is to meet Thursday with Manuel Zelaya to discuss the deadlock following his ouster as president of Honduras in a June 28 coup, her spokesman said Tuesday.

"On Thursday Secretary Clinton plans to meet with him to discuss the best way forward on the situation in Honduras," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.

The Obama administration continues to back the wrong horse in this battle and Micheletti continues to make Zelaya look foolish. To illustrate with an example, as Zelaya is reduced to recklessly (Hillary's word) walking into Honduras by crossing their border with Nicaragua so he could yell through a megaphone while wearing his white cowboy hat, Micheletti writes an OP-ED for the Wall Street Journal enumerating the many Constitutional reasons for Zelaya's removal.

Now Hillary, who called Zelaya's actions "reckless" relative to the aforementioned example, is meeting with him in the United States to work out a solution?!

Mrs. Clinton, some might call that "reckless".

tsk tsk tsk

SOLOMON: OBAMA SHOULD HAVE STUDIED GHANDI

Michael Solomon over at Where Did My America Go has an op-ed about how Obama has awoken a sleeping giant with his arrogance and, dare I say, lies. By now we're all familiar with the two most absurd and arguably defamatory statements Obama has made about doctors over the last several weeks.

First, he accused doctors of intentionally taking out tonsils for extra cash then implied that they amputate the feet of diabetics for the same reason. SOLOMON NAILS HIM on both with facts:

When he (Obama) stood in front of the press and explained that my “pediatrician would rather take out my child’s tonsils than treat the symptoms with pain killers and antibiotics because he gets paid more from the insurance company,” I went into my usual rant at the one-eyed digital monster that I keep screaming at which never answers me. “You idiot,” I screamed. “You really expect the American people who have half a brain to believe that idiom?” My pediatrician will send me to an ENT surgeon to remove them and cure my child. He will never see him again for tonsillitis. So he is taking money out of his pocket, not lining it with medical insurance checks. What about the economic effect of mom or dad staying home with a sick child and missing time from work. No income, no taxes no money to pay for your new health care bill.

If that wasn’t bad enough he then told us at a staged town hall meeting, “If you have diabetes and need your foot amputated the surgeon collects $30,000 to $50,000 from Medicare for the surgery.”

“In fact, Medicare pays a surgeon between $740 and $1,140 for a leg amputation," said the American College of Surgeons (ACS), which is care that includes evaluation of the patient the day of the operation and follow- up care that is provided for 90 days after the operation. Private insurers pay a variation of the same amount, said the group, adding that it is "deeply disturbed" over the President's "uninformed public comments." Then the President told us “health care costs in the U.S. are almost twice what they are in the UK and Canada.” Here is a quick economic lesson for you Mr. President. It is twice as expensive because we get twice as much care. Consumer education 101, “You get what you pay for.”

Obama has a problem on his hands and if he was honest (I know, bear with me), he'd have to admit it's an unintended consequence of the Community Organizing tactics he's using that were birthed by his ideological hero, Saul Alinsky.

Reminds me of that saying, "Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword". It's still early but politically speaking, Obama may need to substitute "sword" with "Alinsky".

Solomon puts it this way:

Take heed town hall attendees “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” -Ghandi

As for a history lesson Mr. President you should have studied Gandhi not Saul Alinsky.

Be sure to read the WHOLE THING.

VIDEO: GREEN JOBS CZAR VAN JONES IN FEBRUARY

Yes, February of THIS year. Van Jones, a self-avowed communist and marxist who named his four-year old son after a radical african Marxist who is on record as championing the cause of Fidel Castro.

A big jaw-dropping moment (actually there are several) comes at about the 2:30 mark when a woman in the audience asks how Republicans were able to pass so much with less than 60 votes (uh, did I miss something there? What did they pass again?) while the Democrats are having trouble with 60 votes.

Be sure to catch Jones' highly professional response.

WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE.

Another telling quote: "Some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity." Considering Mr. Obama hired this whack job as one of his czars, does that mean Mr. Obama is condoning that?

In the words of Nancy "SPEECH POLICI", "you be the judge."

Or how about this one a the 3:58 mark: "At a certain point, some of us need to figure out which two or three senators need to have terrible days until they act right." Uh, excuse me but how does a Czar get the power to call for the bullying of senators who are charged with representing the people in their own states? Is it me or does this come off as a threat?

Oh, and right at the end, he has the gall to ask scornfully, "How is that capitalism working for you this year?" in reference to a question about bailouts, stimulus, etc.

More than a little disturbing that a guy so out of phase with reality actually has this kind of power.
